Posted

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — They've done markets in the spring and winter, but co-owners of Buffalo Holiday Market decided it was time to show fall some love at a new location.

"It's been absolutely incredible," said Jillian Cannan. "We have tarot card readings, we have pumpkin patches, we have tons of food and coffee vendors here with us, we have something for everyone, we have apparel, we have Bills gear, you name it."

They've planned two weekends for the Falliday market, October 4, 5, 18 and 19. Organizers, vendors and attendees all agree that weekend one was a hit.

"I'd say it's probably the most important thing," said Joy Moussa, part owner of MRJ Celebration Creations about events like this one. "Seeing a bunch of new people, there's a lot of people who don't even know we're a thing until they see us here today, so it's really great."

"Vibes are high, it's great," said Michael Spagna, who stopped by and did some shopping. "If you can buy some from them, it's way better than buying it online, you should always buy local if you can."

"This is an awesome idea," said Debbie, who stopped by with a friend. "I remember years ago, this place you shied away from and there were a lot of reasons for it. But it's beautiful, it's picturesque, it's part of Buffalo, so yeah, by all means, come see it."

If you can't make it for the 'Falliday' market, winter is just around the corner and the winter market starts the weekend after Thanksgiving.
